Suspect in Bearmouth Train Robbery May Be Man Weiklejohn Favors Holding
Deputy United States Marshal David Meiklejohn argues the arrested man, listed as Vanhazendorf, should be held until clearly identified as the train robbery and murder suspect. He notes the suspect had two revolvers, questions the missing rifle, and outlines the route past Bearmouth toward Garnet as a possible travel path. Local officers consider escorting the suspect along his alleged route to pinpoint stops and gather evidence. Other items from the mail car could have been destroyed or hidden.
